New York-based organizations received nearly $600,000 in foundation funding. While no other state received more than $500,000 expressly for AAPI LGBTQ communities between 2011 and 2012, it should be noted that California and New York are home to the largest AAPI populations.

Between 2011-2012, the annual LGBTQ grant dollars per AAPI LGBT adult is $4.09, which is below the national grant dollars per queer (GDQ) of $5.78.
